Recap / The Good Wife S 1 E 01 A New Day

Go To

Alicia mistakenly advices a Muslim student charged with vandalism to use a red light photo of his car as an alibi. This places him at a murder site where the victim was Jewish and a reverse swastika was drawn on the wall. He claims it could have been Amir or Tariq, his Muslim roommates. Grace gets an eccentric tutor who makes videos of herself dancing on the subway.

Tropes

  • Good Is Not Nice: A witness accuses Alicia of being rude. She tells him she is just getting started.
  • This Is Reality: Alicia argues that just because he plays video games where your player character is a guerilla soldier and you blow up schools, that doesn't mean her client would do that in real life.
  • Title Drop: Kalinda asks if it's a new Cary. Cary replies that it's just a new day.
  • You Just Told Me: When confronting Tariq, Kalinda asks him why he drew the swastika backwards. Tariq gets confused and says he thought that was how they were drawn. (The nazi swastika is the reverse Hindu sun symbol, so it makes sense that he's seen that before.)
